As much as I want to be motivated like I was just two months ago, I seemed to have lost my mojo. How fitting when I showed up Saturday morning to see this week's topic: Scale Standoff. Not only is my standoff with my scale, as it has crept up slightly in April, it's also with my psyche and getting back my motivation.

So, I decided to go back to my old meeting. Something about weighing in on Saturday keeps you motivated longer through the week and keeps your Friday night in check. A Thursday weigh-in wasn't my friend. The more I cheated, the worse it got. Or should I say, the longer it got? One cheat meal a week turned into a cheating weekend. Let's be honest. That did not work. I'm still doing the program through WW at Work at Samson, but I think my old group on Saturday morning provided me more motivation and more tips and tricks than I was getting on Thursdays. I want to hit goal and lifetime this year. I've not been on that path for the last month and I need to get back on track.

So, yesterday I started out my day clean. Sure, I let myself have a last hoorah on Saturday after weigh-in, but I am working on more protein and less sugar. Three days and my cravings should be gone. We shall see how the old Atkins Induction phase goes to help jump start me back into Weight Watchers. I know it's a lifestyle and not a diet, but I feel like I need to re-program for a few days to get my health back on track.
I'm also not running like I was, so that gets back on track this week. Running 3 days a week. I'll miss my HIIT workout on Thursday because I need my roots done, but I will hit my strength and tone class tonight. I may have to do my own HIIT workout because missing a week or two causes me to be unbelievably sore for two days after.
What tips and tricks do you have to get back on track after you've let yourself struggle and cheat for too long?
